The Super Bowl uses Roman numerals to classify each game, rather than the year in which it is held. For instance, Super Bowl I was played on January 15 1967, Then the regular season played in 1966, although Super Bowl XLV will be played on February 6, 2011, to elect the champion of the 2010 common time.

The game was constructed as part of an alliance agreement between the NFL and its then rival league, the American Football League (AFL). It was contracted that the two leagues' champion teams would play in an AFL NFL World Championship Game until the alliance was to officially launch in 1970. After the merger, every league was redesignated as a "conference", and the game was soon after played between the conference champions.

The day on that the Super Bowl is played is now considered a de facto American national holiday called "Super Bowl Sunday". It is the second largest day for U.S. food consumption, after Thanksgiving Day. In most years, the Super Bowl is the most watched American television advertisement; Super Bowl XLIV played on 7 February 2010 between the New Orleans Saints and the Indianapolis Colts, became the most watched American television show in history, drawing an average audience of 106.5 million viewers and taking over the spot held for 27 years by the final episode of MASH. The Super Bowl is among the most watched sporting events in the world, primarily due to primarily North American audiences, and is second to soccer's UEFA Champions League final as the most watched annual sporting event worldwide.

Because of its high viewership, commercial airtime during the Super Bowl broadcast is the most expensive of the year. Due to the high cost of investing in advertising on the Super Bowl, companies commonly develop their most expensive advertisements for this broadcast. As a result, watching and discussing the broadcast's commercials has become a significant aspect of the event. In addition, many popular singers and musicians have performed during the event's pre game and halftime ceremonies because of the exposure.

According to NFL Film President Steve Sabol, NFL Commissioner Pete Rozelle wanted to call the game "The Big One". The common story behind the name of the Super Bowl tells that one of the AFL's founders and Kansas City Chiefs owner Lamar Hunt, during the discussion to iron out the details, had jokingly referred to the proposed inter league championship as the "Super Bowl." Lamar Hunt, who died in December 2006, said he coined the term in the late 1960s after watching his kids play with a Super Ball, the creation of toy manufacturer Wham-O. The small, round ball is presently on display at the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio. However, more earlier scholarship suggests that the name was already extant in sports journalism before the Hunt story took place, and that Hunt only applied official cachet to an unofficial nickname.

The name was consistent with post season college football games, which had long been known as "bowl games". Hunt states he only meant the name to be a stopgap until a fitter one could be found. "Superbowl" even sounded rather silly at the time. Nevertheless, the name "Super Bowl" became permanent. . Tickets for the games played in 1967, 1968, and 1969 were printed with the title "World Championship Game"
